As kids get a little bit older, meaning they can tell you many of them, that makes it, in my opinion, a little bit easier.
Otherwise, as you would with non speaking kids of any age, you are dependent on your powers of observation and trial and error.
Hopefully, eventually you get to know the kid and you sense patterns in what could be the matter, and patterns in the solutions that might work.
But this is a very different approach than solving all problems by sticking the bottle in the kid's mouth.
It's a big deal 'cause I think that us parents often don't give ourselves the luxury of thinking about our values.
We're busy, we're paying attention to what other people think.
I would call this values-based parenting.
You should be basing your parenting based on what your values are and what you want for your kid and who you want that kid to be.
And that's gonna translate directly into whether you are primarily using
Parenting strategies that are oriented toward power and control, or parenting strategies that are more oriented toward collaboration and problem solving.
And you know, there's other ways to slice the pie, but for me, that's a big part of the dichotomy.
But that should be based on values.
What kind of parent do I wanna be?
Who do I wanna help my kid be?
What am I trying to transmit to my child?
And I actually thought that was one of the best parts of the film, where we're hearing parents of lots of different ethnicities and socioeconomic strata and from all kinds of different countries talking about values.
and what kind of parenting practices coincide with those values.
What a great discussion to have with people.
And it's something people really like talking about, but as you said, just don't really give themselves the luxury to think about very much.
I think that we should give ourselves the luxury to write down what our values are really early in the process.
